I was disappointed in the short segment today about the threat Asian carp and the lack of detailed information and coverage about the problem. I was dismayed to hear Celeste Headlee comment that she thought it was funny. The Great Lakes supports a 70 billion dollar industry of both fishing and tourism. In a state devastated by a collasped auto industry, the threat of this potentially devastating problem is not funny on youtube or my morning radio news.
